Volkswagen parts reviews

I have some Continental VikingContact 7s and they seem to be doing pretty good in Wisconsin snow.

If it goes away when the car warms up then it’s a failing coolant temperature sensor. It’s dumping in excess fuel because there’s no cat and then when it finally warms up, the sensor starts working to reduce fueling.

Already bought new: Fuel tank In tank lift pump External fuel pump (Bosch) Fuel accumulator (Bosch) Fuel Filter (Bosch) Rebuilt fuel distributor. (CIS Flowtech) Stainless injector lines Fuel injectors (Bosch) Radiator (Nissens)

On my previous car, a VW Golf 7 2.0 TDI I used to change the oil (Castrol 5W30 Long Life) every 12000km.

MoS2, Ceratec, Engine Flush… I have own my mk7.5 since 30k miles, do my own changes, a flush every 3-4 changes, ceratec every other and MoS2 in the other. So far 120k going strong, have never had any issues. Knock on wood **

Had a 40AE GTI for a year and recently traded in for a 20AE R. Loved the GTI, got to take it to a few track days and it held up very well to the abuse with just proper brake pads and tires

Took my 2019 Golf R to the track with stock pads and rotors. The brakes started smelling really bad after 20 minutes of track time, and squealing a bit. Didn’t lose braking power significantly, but this is what they look like afterwards.

I had to change the brake pads on couple of cars last week which used the FSIII brake calipers and all of the brake pads were missing the raised edge and they have been flat. In one case the customer wanted cheaper Febi pads so I thought it was just because of cost savings but to my surprise even TRW/ATE (OEM makers) pads have been like this.

While braking on the big straight away, every single time I was sliding, ABS kicked on, and I had to counter steer, these tires are awful and got scrubbed hard. Imo I was not overdriving though, I didn't skid much, where I did, it was very brief.

I had the Bridgestones on my Mk7.5 GTI and was very unhappy with them. When it was time to change tires (after only 12,000 miles) I went with the Michelin PSAS4 I was blown away by how much better they were.
